Chapter 211 It’s Really Wonderful
Li Lizhi also looked at Zhao Chen with great anticipation.
She felt that Zhao Chen was so magical, there must be a way to deal with this matter.
"This problem is easy to solve." Zhao Chen and Empress Changsun smiled.
“It’s easy to solve?”
"The five surnames and Qiwang control 80% of the rice paper output in Chang'an City, and there are printing workshops. The other workshops will not offend them for you."
"You said this problem is easy to solve?"
"Zhao Chen, you don't want to surrender to them."
"It's not impossible for you to surrender, young people, knowing current affairs is the most important thing, but when you go out, don't say you know someone, you can't afford to lose this person..."
Zhao Chen just said something that was easy to solve.
Li Shimin was like a tongue-in-law, and he kept talking nonsense.
In his words, it was determined that Zhao Chen wanted those businessmen to admit defeat.
The joke on his face became increasingly intense.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything, just watched Li Shimin talking in front of him.
Li Shimin said a few words, and finally found the strange look in Zhao Chen's eyes. He immediately curled his lips and sneered: "I'm just talking about this possibility, you continue."
"Didn't they not give me paper and not let me print at the printing workshop?"
"I can't just do these things myself?" Zhao Chen spoke and said slowly.
"Do it yourself?" Empress Changsun did not react for a while when she heard Zhao Chen's words.
"Boy Zhao Chen, how could you say such words? Do you know how many processes do you need for this piece of paper?"
"How did this printing be engraved on bamboo slips bit by bit and then printed on paper?"
Li Shimin's expression changed, but he did not mock Zhao Chen anymore.
Because Zhao Chen's idea is clearly dreaming.
If this paper is as simple as printing as Zhao Chen said, then his Tang Dynasty...
"What's this?"
“I have a set of movable type printing techniques that can remove each word and type it again, and it can be printed for decades.”
"As for paper, it's a little bit troublesome, but the books in the bookstore don't need to be too good, as it can reduce the price and attract more people."
"It's just some high-fiber things such as wood, straw, rotten hemp, etc., that can be made."
"I said that when you are fine on weekdays, read more books. If you don't study, you should go out for a walk, use your hands and brains." Zhao Chen said slowly.
How could these things stump him?
Zhao Chen had this idea when he was working in the bookstore before.
But because I was a little busy, it was put on hold.
Now, those people have to force themselves to take their ultimate moves.
Zhao Chen's last sentence was obviously a joke about Li Shimin.
But Li Shimin didn't seem to hear Zhao Chen's words at this moment.
He was a little confused.
Empress Changsun, who was standing beside her, also looked at Zhao Chen with surprise.
Li Lizhi looked at Zhao Chen with admiration.
This was the first time she saw someone say a few words, and she could startle her father and mother like this.
Li Shimin's Adam's apple squirmed twice, as if he wanted to say something.
Zhao Chen's words completely touched their blind spots in knowledge.
Their current printing techniques are to carve a page of content on bamboo slips and then lay paper to print it on it.
But the cost of such a book is too great.
If it weren't for the necessary books, they wouldn't print them.
As for papermaking, Li Shimin also knew that they were all made of some good silk and silk.
Just like the imperial edicts he issued, they were all sewn with silk.
No matter how bad it is, it is still rice paper made of good bamboo.
Trees, straw, rotten hemp?
If others said this, Li Shimin must have turned the table up on the spot.
Because that must be a lie.
But this was said from Zhao Chen's mouth.
Li Shimin had suspicious on his face, but in fact he believed it 80% of it.
"Zhao Chen, tell me in detail about the mystery of the two techniques of papermaking and printing." Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with anticipation.
"I want to have a meal first." Zhao Chen said.
"Yes, yes, yes, eat first, come, I will pick up food for you."
"Eat more, and we will talk tonight with candles." Li Shimin said quickly.
He picked up the chopsticks in his hand and picked up the food for Zhao Chen.
This is the first time that it has been unprecedented.
When Li Shimin and Zhao Chen were having dinner together, they wanted to leave nothing for Zhao Chen.
Empress Changsun sat aside, showing joy on her face.
Li Lizhi felt a little stunned.
I secretly thought that this is still my father in front of me!
...
After dinner, Zhao Chen lay on the corner of the table with a comfortable look on his face.
I don’t know if I was hungry or if Empress Changsun’s cooking skills were getting better and better, Zhao Chen felt that he was having a good time.
Originally, after dinner, Empress Changsun went to clean up the dishes.
But thinking that Zhao Chen had not finished talking about anything, he was curious and was sitting and unwilling to move.
Li Shimingen even took a sip of tea.
The tea was still in his throat, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Zhao Chen, talk to us now."
Zhao Chen hiccupped, nodded, and said, "Let's talk about this movable type printing technique first."
The three people at the table suddenly felt energetic, pricking their ears, afraid that they would miss a detail.
"This is actually very simple!"
"It's not as complicated as you think."
"The so-called movable type printing technique is to carve each word on a square ink paste and burn it into pieces."
"When printing, arrange them according to the contents of the book, and you can easily print it."
"The advantage of this kind of printing is that it can save a lot of bamboo slips and also have time to carve bamboo slips!"
Zhao Chen smiled and explained the general principles of movable type printing to several people.
When Li Shimin and others heard this, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Even Li Shimin himself was so shocked that he opened his mouth and his eyes were about to pop out.
So amazing!
It's indeed movable type printing.
Compared with previous printing technology, that is a great transcendence.
"Miu Miraculous!"
"It's really wonderful!"
"If we had this movable type printing technique, wouldn't we just need to print any books that we wanted to print, and we would no longer have to carve them!" Li Shimin smiled with excitement on his face.
He never expected that Zhao Chen would have such a magical idea.
This kind of idea is no less than the curved plows, trolleys and the like.
Even better.
This kid is indeed my seed!
Otherwise, there would be no such magical idea.
I will only be relieved if I handed over the position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty into his hands!
Li Shimin was secretly proud of himself, but he had already taken the credit on him. His eyes were full of satisfaction when he looked at Zhao Chen.
Queen Changsun was full of joy.
Zhao Chen actually solved the problem that had been bothering him for hundreds and thousands of years with just a few words.
Empress Changsun was full of pride at this moment.
"What about papermaking?"
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" Li Er urged impatiently.
Chapter completed!
